Grades 1&2 is a great experience because of the new easier to use size, clear and concise layout and CDROM with lesson extras (game cards, patterns, pictures and more!) included in every teacher guide. Each session has an easy-to-follow 1-2-3 plan for teaching: Get Thinking, Get God's Word, Get Talking. In addition, every lesson has a Big Idea (why the lesson will make a difference in kids' lives) and an Action Plan (helps the teacher focus on what kids can do in this session to apply the Big Idea to Life).
